Do you racking your brain trying to decide what to make for dinner each night? I know I do, almost every day! It’s funny because years ago my grandmother remarked that the hardest part about cooking is deciding what to cook. I guess it’s an age old problem many of us face. Well I have one yummy suggestion for you. Try out this delicious Honey Sesame Seed Shrimp dish. It’s probably one of the simplest shrimp dish you will ever make.
You can make Honey Sesame Seed Shrimp in about half an hour. It’s basically a stir-fry, but with a sweet honey twist.
I serve it with steamed white rice, but it would go well with noodles too! It’s a great addition to your dinner menu!
